ABSTRACT

Background: arboviruses continue to be a health problem in the world and in Cuba. Surveillance of these diseases is now a priority in many countries.
Objective: to describe the current arbovirus surveillance system in Cienfuegos during 2019.
Methods: The research was carried out in health systems and services. 10 surveillance services were explored. The system is described in terms of: components, case definition, data sources and flow, technological architecture, and types of surveillance. A documentary review, application of a checklist, interviews with key informants and analysis of the chronological series of arboviruses 2014-2019 were carried out.
Results: surveillance is articulated in a network through its components. The case definition is modified in epidemic periods. There are several data sources from which the system feeds, some collect information that is not useful for surveillance. Surveillance based on indicators is what is used, but surveillance based on events is not, and there is no computerized system that integrates all the information, which can limit its validity.
Conclusions: the arbovirus surveillance system in Cienfuegos shares characteristics with those developed internationally, however, limitations were identified that may conspire with the functioning of some of its attributes, an issue that should be explored in future studies.
